bleeding brakes on ls460 without techstream
#16

Flushed about a qt and a half of fluid. WithOUT using Techstream.
I know you're supposed to start in the back but hey this seemed to work.
Left front - Engine off, key off, brake down, open bleeder, close it when you hear that pump coming on. Used my wife to hit the pedal.
Right front- please disconnect battery. One man bleeder works fine here. Smooth bleedin' here!(Using the same method from left front triggered the abs error brake lights when the battery was connected. Maybe I held bleeder open too long. I reset using techstream. I think any abs scan tool would work though.)
Rears: battery connected, car off, one man bleeder ok. Slowly depress pedal, release when you hear the pump kick on. The battery has to be connected for the rears I have no clue why. Tried with battery disconnected and fluid was coming out of bleeder but reservoir wasn't falling. Once the battery was connected then everything got on track. Have fun!

since this is one of the threads i found while trying to research how to do this (i replaced my brake lines with steel braided and found out that the bleeding procedure on the ls460 is different from what im used to)
i can tell you guys how i did mine.
you'll need 2 people. one person to sit in the drivers seat with the car on and a scanner that can clear abs codes (i used some zurich harbor freight scanner a friend has)
i started at the rears. car on, passenger side rear in the air with a pneumatic type bleeder (im sure it'll work with a hose and a can. but i had a pneumatic)
run vac on the bleeder and have the driver push the pedal to the floor and hold. at the same time you open the bleeder and vac out what you can. literally takes 1-2 seconds. then close the bleeder
driver releases pedal. code kicks on. clear the code and do it again.
for me i did it 3 times in each corner. make sure you keep that reservoir full because it moves a lot of fluid quickly.
next was drivers rear, then passenger front, and drivers front last
i thought my abs unit was going out and i already ordered it. but all my codes have cleared and have stayed gone for 2 weeks now.
all i have left to do on the car is somehow fix this pcs issue
hope this helps someone.
